The Hanged Man

 

XII

 

  

   The Hanged Man represents a particular moment in a situation or in your life, when you are called to be temporarily still. Often this time is also refereed as "the void". This particular moment is perceived at the end of a relationship, or the end of an ongoing situation or routine, when one feels lost and insecure.

   

    We can experience this void in many different situations, for example when we have to make an important decision. When all of a sudden, our life stops giving us certainty in the routines we have created for ourselves, uncertainty and insecurities come to surface leaving us in an uncomfortable position, not knowing what to do next. 


 


   Many people don't really know how to react in moments like this, so they search for a Tarot card reader to help them out with answers and redirection, or try to find other ways. Others become discouraged and depressed losing their personal power, but the wise man knows better.


 


   In fact, there is no better time in life then this one, because you find yourself in front of many choices and opportunities as you can establish your new routines. However, it's necessary first that you come to a point of acceptance with reality. When you don't know what to do as you go on retirement, or lose a job, or after the loss of a person you love, or even after your last child get married leaving you home alone and so forth, you are left in the void, represented by The Hanged Man. You feel as if you were paralyzed and don't know what to do next, nor how to proceed with your life.


 


   Sometimes, depending on the event we consciously chose to be in this position, as we clearly realize that it would be best not to move, but leave everything suspended for a while. For example, in the situation when several people come to you with an offer on something you are selling, usually you want to take time to decide who to sell to. Or when you prefer to wait before reacting to something that just happened, because you know that that is the only way for you to gain something. 


 


   In any case, The Hanged Man during the void is always offering infinite possibilities, as you take the time to contemplate quietly by observing the events unfolding before you, rather than feeling lost and depressed. This time is magic, as we are offered the possibility to choose and decide our options to manifest greatness for ourselves and others. This card refers also to sacrifice and improvement while waiting.


 


 


  •  ELEMENT: WATER


  • Associated with Neptune


  •  The number 12 on this card becomes 3 (1+2), in numerology. It symbolizes the end of the first part of the journey and the time before the second part, which has something to do with the intuition and the unknown. If you found yourself comfortable in your daily routine or usual ways, now with the change of events in the void, you are invited by the universe to deal with The High Priestess (2 - The High Priestess, or intuition).
